Prostate
histologically prostate consists of parenchyma and fibromuscular stroma
☢️Glandular parenchyma
➡️ formed by irregular prostatic alveoli
➡️ lined by cuboidal to columnar epithelium depending upon activity
➡️Amyloid bodies(colloid) found in the lumen of alveoli
☢️Stroma
consist of fibrous tissue and smooth muscles
H&E LOW MAGNIFICATION SLIDE
Consist of
☢️MUCOSA
consist of simple or pseudostratified columnar epithelial lining and underlying lamina propria
☢️Muscle coat
thick, large, muscle coat consists of
inner longitudinal
middle circular
outer longitudinal
smooth muscles
☢️Adventitia
Testis
➡️Characterized by seminiferous tubules, lined
with:-
1)spermatogonia
2)different stages of spermatocytes
3)sertoli cells
➡️Sertoli cells are tall columnar cella with prominent nucleus
➡️In between seminiferous tubules we can observe androgen secreting" leydig cells"
Epididymis
➡️ epididymis is a comma shaped structure on the posterio- lateral aspect of testis
➡️ it is composed of 6cm long tubes, called "ductus epididymis "which are supported by connective tissue
➡️ ductus epididymis is lined by pseudostratified columnar epithelium with stereocilia
➡️ smooth muscle fibres surrounding each ductus
➡️Sperms are in the lumen
